‘House of the Dragon’: Every Episode (So Far), Ranked
Eighteen episodes and two seasons into its run, House of the Dragon is already almost over. Sure, it will take years and years for the series to reach the end of its planned four-season arc, but the halfway point is the right point to take a beat and take stock of all that’s come before. […]

Ryan Reynolds’ Best Movies, Ranked
Ryan Reynolds has remained one of Hollywood’s most popular actors for nearly 20 years. He’s developed a likable public persona, become a master marketer and entrepreneur, made close friends with the kind of Hollywood talent many people would sell a necessary organ for — and he’s married to Blake Lively.

All the X-Men Franchise Movies, Ranked
For 20 years, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men films and associated spinoffs built up a world that could stand separately from the MCU and DCEU.

The Best Movie Sequels of the Past 20 Years

‘Mad Max’ Franchise Movies, Ranked
Welcome to George Miller’s Wasteland. It’s a post-apocalyptic world not too far removed from our own. A hellscape where resources have run dry, pushing humanity to barbarism, tribalism and a twisted sense of justice. The scarcity of supplies has made gasoline one of Earth’s most precious resources, as the only thing left to do for […]
